*Official* Double Match Day - South Africa v England (27th Sept)

[Athlai]

Shah you are going to be a star in Wellington.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England's first wicket a total freebie... who'd have thought.

 

[Kyle]

Fantastic catch. 2 down

 

[GIMH]

doh

 

[Pratters]

Out! South Africa on top. YAY!

and whenever I watch the cricket, a wicket seems to fall. First, four kiwi wickets, then I switched channels and Vettori picked a wicket and now I switch channels and Kallis picks up Strauss.

 

[Pratters]

and out again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pratters]

just saved.

Good bowling from Parnell. Hits the spot I've been saying should be bowled to Strauss since what seems like the beginning of time.

Keep switching please. We need wickets in both atm.

Hay Smiffy, y no slip?

 

[Athlai]

Shah may actually ton up here.

Love how England match threads fall silent when they're playing really well. Their fans have nothing to complain about and everyone else has nothing to laugh at.

 

[superkingdave]

Indeed

 

[Pratters]

****. England 220/2. With Ryder injured, they may beat Nzl and reach the semis. Who would have thought.

Win here and we can do whatever the hell we want against NZ.

Ever seen an ODi side go from so poor to a such a good couple of performances in such a space of time before?

I have, january & february 07

Wouldn't they be pretty much in anyway if they won this one?
SA would have won one and SL would have won one.

I am going by what Naumaan said. I had no idea. You are bound to be right Athlai.

Could apply to any England side. Did exactly the same last year, going from whitewashing South Africa to being whitewashed by India.

England are nowhere near as bad at ODI cricket as everyone lets on. They're just remarkably inconsistent, and when they're bad, they're horrendously bad.

Won that tournament in Sharjah in the 90s when Adam Hollioake was captain.
